God Help Us — Save The Bees

Could 5G Harm Our Bees? Join the Discussion in Garland!

Garland, Texas, is losing bees fast—two-thirds of Texas honeybee colonies vanished in 2024. Pesticides and habitat loss are major culprits, but could 5G and electromagnetic fields (EMF) also be a threat?  I’m exploring a crowdfunding campaign to protect our pollinators, and I want your input. Below, top experts share evidence about 5G’s impact on bees, with links to their research summaries. Want more details? You can dig deeper with a little effort!

Is 5G a Risk to Bees?

Bees use magnetoreception to navigate, but 5G towers and EMF could disrupt this, especially in urban Garland. Four experts, passionate about saving bees, provide evidence that inspires a possible campaign. Their research abstracts are free to read, and you can seek full texts by contacting authors or visiting libraries.

1. Dr. Arno Thielens: 5G’s Impact on Bees

Who He Is: Dr. Arno Thielens, a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Ghent University, researches EMF effects on wildlife at KU Leuven, Belgium, to protect ecosystems.

What He Found: His 2020 study showed bees absorb up to 570% more radiation at 5G frequencies (2–120 GHz), potentially harming navigation and survival.

Why It Matters: 5G’s rollout in Garland could stress our bees, worsening the 2024 crisis.

Resource: Read the abstract at Nature Scientific Reports or the full study at Ghent University Repository (open access). For more, request the full text via ResearchGate or email Dr. Thielens.

2. Dr. Marie-Claire Cammaerts: Stressed Bees

Who She Is: Dr. Marie-Claire Cammaerts, a PhD in Ethology from the Free University of Brussels, is dedicated to protecting bees from environmental threats.

What She Found: Her 2014 study showed EMF from mobile phones causes bees to avoid hives, show stress, and risk colony collapse.

Why It Matters: 5G towers in Garland could amplify these effects, urging action.

Resource: See the abstract at Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine. For the full study, request it at ResearchGate or contact Dr. Cammaerts.

3. Dr. B. Blake Levitt: Ecosystem Risks

Who She Is: Dr. B. Blake Levitt, a science journalist, advocates for wildlife protection at the Environmental Health Trust, focusing on EMF’s ecological impact.

What She Found: Her 2022 review warns 5G’s rising EMF levels could harm bees through disorientation, reduced fertility, and DNA damage.

Why It Matters: Her work calls for bee-safe policies in places like Garland.

Resource: Read a summary at Environmental Health Trust. For the full review, contact EHT or search Google Scholar.

4. Dr. Claudia Notari: Real-World Stress

Who She Is: Dr. Claudia Notari, a PhD in Biology from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, researches pollinator health to save ecosystems.

What She Found: Her 2023 study found bees near power lines produce 50% more stress proteins and struggle with foraging due to EMF.

Why It Matters: Her findings suggest EMF-free zones could help Garland’s bees.

Resource: Explore related research at Pollinator Partnership or contact PUCV Biology Department for her study.

Could a Crowdfunding Campaign Help?

The 2024 Texas bee crisis is urgent, and 5G could be a factor. With Bee Hippie, I’m considering a crowdfunding campaign to protect Garland’s bees. Possible ideas include:

  • Shield Hives: Use EMF-blocking materials for Bee Hippie’s hives.
  • Monitor EMF: Map 5G radiation with RF meters to find safe zones.
  • Bee-Safe Zones: Plant native wildflowers like bluebonnets in low-EMF areas.
  • Educate: Host workshops with Bee Hippie to share this research.

We’re not launching yet, but what do you think? Would you support this campaign? Share your ideas!

Hidden & Mold Invisible Monsters Mycotoxins Can Wreck You

Understanding Mycotoxins and Hidden Mold DFWSAS Mycotoxins June 21, 2025 Mycotoxins, toxic secondary metabolites produced by molds such as Stachybotrys chartarum (black mold), Aspergillus , and Penicillium , pose significant health risks when present in hidden mold within buildings. These toxins, including aflatoxins, ochratoxins, and trichothecenes, can volatilize or attach to dust particles, circulating through HVAC systems or porous materials like drywall, even if mold spores remain contained. Identifying and properly remediating hidden mold is critical to mitigate health risks and prevent structural damage. Misinformation about mold-related illnesses abounds, so relying on evidence-based testing and treatment is essential to separate fact from overblown claims. Mycotoxins Mycotoxins are potent chemicals produced by certain molds as a defense against environmental threats. Unlike mold spores, which may trigger allergies, mycotoxins like trichothecenes can disrup...

Texans Fighting For Continued Legal Access To THC

Protecting Legal Hemp in Texas: Benefits and Advocacy Against SB 5 Published: July 25, 2025 | Author: Shane Shipman  Why Hemp Matters in Texas Thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp-derived products—legally defined as cannabis with less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC—have transformed lives in Texas. As highlighted in a recent X post by Shane Shipman ( https://t.co/5KTUFYWx1k ), these products offer legal access to cannabinoids that relieve pain, inflammation, anxiety, and nausea . Studies (e.g., 2025 Journal of Cannabis Research) confirm minimal harm, with less than 1% serious adverse events, making hemp a safe alternative to pharmaceuticals. Yet, this access is under threat. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick pushes for a total ban, while Gov. Greg Abbott seeks to stop intoxicating THC sales. Senate Bill 5 (SB 5), introduced on July 21, 2025, could restrict or criminalize these products, ...
